			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life can bring many twists and turns. There always seems to be a curveball thrown at you when you least expect it. That’s why I was so surprised when I found out that my cousin was having a problem. Sarah is seventeen and she has been hiding a secret. She had gotten mixed up with the wrong people and become addicted to drugs. When the problem was discovered, the whole family wanted to help.</p>
<p>We did a lot of research on the subject and found that it might be best to get professional help. We thought that a <a href="http://teenrehab.org/">teen drug rehab</a> center might be the best answer for her. We knew that getting help was the first step in this type of situation. Sarah was against the idea at first, but she finally realized that taking advantage of <a href="http://teenrehab.org/">teen alcohol rehab</a> would be good for her.</p>
<p>Its funny how these types of problems always seem to happen to someone else. The problem is that by looking at the <a href="http://www.drugabuse.gov/infofacts/HSYouthTrends.html">teen addiction statistics</a>, the problem is more prevalent than many people think. I am sure that Sarah will overcome her addiction and go on to live a happy and healthy life. The whole family is supporting her and we all feel that everything will be alright in the end.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter where you are from, you have to love Queen Elizabeth ll. She has been a light to the world and an inspiration to us all. That’s why we all took notice when she praised the UN for its humanitarian efforts over the years. She also reminded us all that more work needs to be done all over the world. </p>
<p>The 84 year old queen also thanked all those who have given so much over the years toward making our world a better place. Her view is that the UN is a force for good and should be supported by all those around the world who believe we can make the world a better home for all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that nearly every modern city is plagued with the same problem. Handgun violence is on the rise. One mayor is trying to combat the problem by making handgun rules stricter. Mayor Richard Daly of Chicago is proposing tough new handgun laws that are aimed at preventing crime and limiting the number of handguns in the city. </p>
<p>At South Side Park, the mayor announced proposed news rules that include training for handgun owners, trigger locks for people with children, and limiting the number of handguns bought to one a month. The mayor remains strong in his feelings despite opposition from some members of the public. I hope he is successful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the small pleasures I have in life is the ability to help people from time to time. I recently had the chance to help a number of kids who really needed it. It’s a group of underprivileged kids called headway. They are sponsored by a local church group and others who care. One way we care for the kids is to encourage physical exercise as a way of staying out of trouble.</p>
<p>The group has a building where the kids meet and there is a large field behind it. The building is old but still very functional. Anyway, we thought that providing <a href="http://www.morelockers.com/">Gym Lockers</a> for the kids would help them feel like they had a stake in the group. Each kid would have his or her own <a href="http://www.morelockers.com/">locker</a> that would be entirely theirs. We agreed to start looking for some right away.</p>
<p>Being as that some members of the group know that I excel in matters like these, I was volunteered to find some <a href="http://www.morelockers.com/">Lockers for sale</a> and purchase them. While I was apprehensive at first, I soon found out how easy it was to find them. I visited a site called morelockers.com and found just what I was looking for. The prices were right and the service was first class. Now the kids are happy and I have a warm feeling in my heart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that happens to many people when disaster strikes is a feeling of helplessness. One instance of this is going on in the coastal towns that surround the Gulf of Mexico. As the oil continues to destroy the fishing industry, many are uncertain about the future and what it will bring. This has led to many people needing help from depression. </p>
<p>Social services that provide mental health to these individuals are being overloaded with new cases. Stress on the system is causing gaps in service and is taking a toll on those who depend on it. There is also the long term impact of the spill and no one knows how that will turn out. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Office of Correctional Safety ran a sting this week involving hundreds of parole violators. The office sent out thousands of e-mails to families of parole violators stating that they were eligible for amnesty and cash or prizes. All they had to do was show up and collect. They were in for a surprise!</p>
<p>Upon showing up at the Oakland parole office, they were arrested. Authorities say they arrested 81 felons for parole violations or outstanding warrants. They move was part of a plan to reduce the amount of convicts on the most wanted list. It also removed many dangerous felons off the street. I am all for this type of thing and wish it hadn’t gotten into the news as it will make other felons aware of the scam!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was glad to hear that members of congress had the good sense to forego voting themselves a pay raise. The congress rejected an automatic cost of living increase that would have taken effect on January 1. Don’t worry; they still bring home about $174,000 dollars per year which is a pretty good chunk of change.</p>
<p>There will be an election come November and I am sure that no congressman wants to explain a pay raise to his supporters. I hope the money they would spend on themselves will be put to a better use. Maybe we could make a payment on the debt we owe!!</p>

The census helps the government decide how to allocate money. It&#8217;s all a part of being a good citizen. I filled mine out and sent it back in as soon as I got it. I hope everyone else does the same. I think it is important to do your part in helping out the government; they need all the help they can get!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I am happy that the Obama administration has been successful in passing the new health care bill, it seems that it may have certain drawbacks. One problem that may crop up is the need for more doctors. With the millions of additional patients that will be seen, a good doctor will be hard to find.</p>
<p>The government is working on ways to increase the amount of doctors available by offering bonuses to doctors who serve in priority areas. They are also considering using doctor led nurse teams to provide for additional patients. I think that becoming a doctor would be a great idea for some of the young people who are in need of a good career. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The drug problem in America is causing many problems. Not only are our own citizens suffering, but many people in Mexico are paying the price. The good news is that the Mexican police made an arrest that will help keep drugs off our streets and keep Mexicans a little safer. They arrested Jose Antonio Medina who is also known as the “King of Heroin”. </p>
<p>Violence in Mexico is steady as different gangs compete for the lucrative drug trade. Smuggling drugs into the U.S. is very profitable and continues to be a major problem for drug enforcement agencies. I am glad to hear that these lawless people are still being arrested and prosecuted for their crimes!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The news today reads that the Census Bureau will fork over $2.5 million dollars to take out an ad during the Super Bowl. The ad is aiming to increase awareness and excitement about filling out and sending in the questionnaire that helps the government count the people. Other useful information is gleaned from these forms as well. The problem is that not everyone agrees with the spending of so much money for just a few ads.</p>
<p>Many citizens as well as congressman and senators are fuming over the fact that the Census Bureau is spending so much money in these budget crunching times. Their advertising budget is about $133 million this year. I believe that the debate will continue to rage until an answer is found. </p>

The union sued the company of Pratt &#038; Whitney in order to keep jobs from being shipped over seas. Their contract with the union requires that the company do everything possible to keep jobs in their state. </p>
<p>A federal judge issued an injunction against the company saying that they must comply with the contract. I am glad to hear that a judge has finally ruled for the people!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that I believe is really important is to make sure that you recycle your electronic items. Things like cell phones, televisions, and iPods contain many chemicals and other dangerous metals that can contaminate our ecosystem. By ensuring that these items are recycled, we can go a long way toward protecting our earth.</p>
<p>Here are a few tips to go by when recycling. Most stores nowadays offer free recycling programs. You can drop off your electronic devises at the store or send them back to the company that made them. There are also companies that will buy your electronic items that are still working. I hope everyone will take a little time to ensure they do their part in protecting our world!</p>

While I listened attentively for any thing new, I heard nothing of the sort. It seemed to me to be the same tired old speech that I have heard every president give.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many things I like about the company I work for that it can be hard to choose which thing is the best. My company believes in keeping its workers happy and they do a great job of doing that. Recently, we added a new feature to the many benefits we receive already. This time, we were able to have <a href="http://www.morelockers.com/">Lockers</a> installed in the workout room that is located on the bottom floor. It’s been a treat for me as I use the room all the time.</p>
<p>I like to stay physically fit and the gym at work is an important part of doing that. The problem was that there was nowhere to store my clothes while I worked out. There were times when everyone had stuff strewn all about and the place was a mess. That’s why it was nice when we were able to install a <a href="http://www.morelockers.com/">Gym Locker</a> for everyone who wanted one. It’s made life so much easier for all involved!</p>
<p>The best part about the whole deal was that it was easy to do. We found a place online that offered some great <a href="http://www.morelockers.com/">Lockers for sale</a>. We quickly took advantage of the situation and purchased some for our office. We now have the appearance of being a top notch company and the employees love it. Life has become a little bit simpler for everyone involved and we all want to thank our bosses for being so nice!!</p>
